Compare and contrast. The original tide pool design was passed around amongst aquarium folk, and I got the following feedback: too crowded, too much going on, can you make it look more rocky? So, I dropped the horizon, reduced some of the pink sponge presence, thinned out the black outlines and erased a few sea stars. I think the new version (top) is more calming to look at than the old version, which is jungly.
